The difference of the squares of two consecutive numbers is equal to the sum of two numbers: As:
(i) 3 x 3 – 2 x 2 = 3 + 2 = 5
(ii) 9 x 9 – 8 x 8 = 9 + 8 = 17
(iii) 25 x 25 – 24 x 24 = 25 + 24 = 49
(iv) 217 x 217 – 216 x 216 = 217 + 216 = 433
You may write the difference of the squares of two given consecutive numbers:
(i) 76 x 76 – 75 x 75 = _______ .
(ii) 115 x 115 – 114 x 114 = _______ .
(iii) 137 x 137 – 136 x 136 = _______ .
